Google's Pixel 5 smartphone is coming. already the Pixel Watch, the company's smartwatch, is uncertain. Maybe yes, maybe not. But what would the wearable design look like? Now we can have a more concrete idea. 112j50
That's because the designer James Tsai was inspired by the devices developed by Google to create concept images of the Pixel Watch. He even thought of “Google-style” colors: “milk white”, “sweet papaya” and “boba black”.
Pixel Watch (possible) design 4k1671
The concept envisioned by the designer is very minimalist, with a circular display and “smooth tactile finish”, according to him. Google's smartwatch experience would be pretty fluid, for Tsai.
“The display could always match the wristband when 'Always-On' mode is activated. The variety of matte and glossy materials adds creaminess and elegance to the experience” James Tsai, designer
The idea conceived by the designer puts Google Assistant at the heart of the experience. Pixel Watch. The feature would be crucial for accessing the smartwatch's other functions. But Tsai also made room for other apps, such as Google Maps, Google Fit and even Uber.
In Tsai's design, the "body" of the Google Pixel Watch is next to the bracelet. That is, this would mean that it would not be possible to customize it with other bracelets, whether from Google or third parties. That would be a weakness of the accessory.
When does the Pixel Watch arrive? 242e2o
The answer to this question is still uncertain. But what seems certain is that a Google smartwatch will arrive, eventually.
Tech fans have been waiting for this for years. In 2018, for example, it seemed certain that the Pixel Watch would be released together with the Pixel 3 smartphone. But it didn't happen. In 2019, similar rumors circulated on the internet. And it didn't work either.
What to do then? Keep on waiting and waiting. Until then, we can dream a little about this design of the Pixel Watch designed by James Tsai.
Signs of a Google smartwatch 5r6y37
In addition to dreaming, we can be aware. That's because there are signs, yes, that a Google wearable would be coming.
In 2019, for example, the company bought Fitbit, a maker of fitness wearables, for $2,1 billion. It was the company's biggest acquisition in this area, which said the purchase was aimed at "devices, not data". But this could also mean that the company will only improve the brand's devices.
Another indication that points to the Pixel Watch is that in May of this year the US Patent and Trademark Office granted Google permission to develop an “in-watch” system, that is, a smartwatch with its own system.
Rumors at the time even covered part of the operation of the smart watch, which would have an optical sensor capable of capturing movements of the 's arm, wrist and fingers. The patent also revealed that the sensors would allow the to select and activate applications through gestures such as closing a hand and lifting a few fingers.
Earlier this month, ET News reported that Google has filed a massive order for Samsung's body motion sensors. But they can be used to improve Wear OS, the smartwatch operating system developed by Google, instead of being used on a company smartwatch.
What does all this indicate? There are three possibilities. Google is investing in developing a wearable, improving Wear OS, or both options together.
With the recent release of Apple Watch 6 on the horizon, it is past time for Google to enter the smartwatch market with its Pixel Watch.
There are signs that the company is developing a wearable. But for now, it is not possible to know when the device will be released and if it will accompany the Pixel 5.
